Oh wait, I forgot to pre-screen this and if it’s approved by the “ministry of truth” and comes from an “authorized country”

If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

It's happening alright, it's reported in German newspapers too.

All part of a de-industrialising in Germany since getting rid of their nuclear power plants. Auto manufacturers fortunately managed to get the EU to drop the ban on new ICE vehicles in 2035 as pushing EVs would have crippled the industry.

Also it helps to check sources first instead of just saying it's not happening because you don't like the particular news source quoted. RT is no more unreliable than say AP. Both have their biases.

"The responsibility for years of mismanagement is now to be passed on to the employees again. Together with the works council and our trade union network, we will not allow this without resistance

It seems it would be better if they outsourced management.

I thought when Horst past away , it was put into a sort of trust that a board of lawyer types would make the decisions instead of the kids as they moved into the Lachuza self watering pots heads

Then this wild card secretarian story surfaced

Very odd and it’s only steering the ship into the rocks and the damn band keeps playing their tunes as though noting bad is happening

Maybe send production to Hungary , they seem to be hungry enough for business to make decent controversial decisions

So….its not happening then ?

Is your news saying factories are doing great, new production is opening up, more jobs are being created, economy is expanding ?

I’m confused

No, I'm not saying it's not happening, I'm just pointing out that in the article there is a political element overall into which the facts are put.

... in Spain where they already have a plant...

I thought they had recently closed that one!

Edit: yes, in late 2023

At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)

Ok , I understand more now , thanks for the clarification

Perhaps this is more unsurprising news w/a political  undertone

“ Germany has lost more than $1 trillion in GDP output over the past six years as successive crises pushed the economy into prolonged stagnation, according to the German Economic Institute”

As long as the secretary doesn’t listen to some nutty brit leader and “just fight” I think the Horst Brandsatter Company can pull through with sound long term decisions.

My bet is on Chinese manufacturing . Low cost stable energy, huge unwilling child work force and distribution logistics worldwide. What would be more awesome than kids building kids toys to spread the smile . Maybe then we could get a proper Asian theme with distinct diversity through all the variants in Asian cultures

Malta it is then :lol:! I suspect this is another sign of 'focusing on the core markets' but maybe I'm wrong.

For clarification, this is a think-tank hypothesising what would have happened if there hadn't been a series of international crisis. So if there had been no Covid, and no war in Ukraine, and no tariffs from America. This feels very much in the 'if my Grandmother had wheels she'd be a bicycle' realm of thinking.

They tried China once for their 25th anniversary if I remembe rightly and it was an embarrassing flop, so maybe "once bitten, twice shy".
